Exported configuration
Translated string (German)
Source string (Built-in English)
When configuration is exported, the active configuration is exported as a set of files in YAML format. When using the <em>Configuration synchronization</em> administrative UI, configuration can be exported as a full-export or single-item archive. This archive can then be imported into the destination site instance.

Imported configuration
Translated string (German)
Source string (Built-in English)
Imported configuration is configuration that has been exported from another instance of the site (the "source") and is now being imported into another site instance (the "destination"), thereby updating its active configuration to match the imported configuration data set.

Configuration sync directory
Translated string (German)
Source string (Built-in English)
The configuration sync directory location is set in the site's <em>settings.php</em> file. When configuration is exported, the active configuration is exported and described in YAML files which are stored in the configuration sync directory. After the first export, the system compares the site's active configuration with the configuration data in the sync directory and will only export active configuration items that are different than their counterparts in the sync directory.

Managing configuration overview
Translated string (German)
Source string (Built-in English)
Configuration management tasks, such as exporting or importing configuration and synchronizing configuration, can be done either through the administrative UI provided by the core Configuration Manager module or a command-line interface (CLI) tool. Defining a configuration sync directory path other than the default value requires read/write access to the site's <em>settings.php</em> file.

Most modules and themes also provide settings forms for updating the configuration they provide. See the related topics listed below for specific tasks.

What are media items?
Translated string (German)
Source string (Built-in English)
Core media items include audio, images, documents, and videos. You can add other media types, such as social media posts, through the use of contributed modules. Media items may be files located in your site's file system, or remote items referenced by a URL. Media items are content entities, and they are divided into media types (which are entity sub-types); media types can have fields. See @content_structure_topic for more information on content entities and fields.

What is the media library?
Translated string (German)
Source string (Built-in English)
The media library is a visual user interface for managing and reusing media items. Add media items to content using Media reference fields and the Media library field widget.

What is an image style?
Translated string (German)
Source string (Built-in English)
An image style is a set of processing steps, known as <em>effects</em>, that can be applied to images. Examples of effects include scaling and cropping images to different sizes. Responsive image styles can associate image styles with your theme's size breakpoints. This allows serving images sized for the browser width.

Media items and media types are managed by the core Media module.
Translated string (German)
Source string (Built-in English)
The core Media module provides a Media reference field to add media to content entities. The core File and Image modules also provide reference fields. It is recommended to use the Media reference field because it is more versatile.

The core Media Library module provides the media library and the Media library field widget. With this module installed, the Media library field widget becomes the default widget for editing Media reference fields.

The core Image module provides a user interface for defining image styles. The core Responsive Image module provides responsive image styles. Using the core Breakpoint module, and a breakpoint-enabled theme, these responsive styles can serve images sized for the browser.
